You can find used Jammin X1-CRT's selling for a third
of what they cost new. They are strong and parts are
easy to find for them. Good luck.

Mugen's are a great choice also..their are some good ones out their. A Caster would be a good choice for New so would the new XTM truggy..I would not try to convert a buggy just for the costs involved in doing it corectly..you would be $$$ ahead spending a little bit more and getting a Truggy.

I dont get the question. Why get a buggy to convert when you could just buy a inexpensive truggy.

Not sure how well it would do as a basher, but the previous version of the Losi Truggy race rollers are going for $300 now.

my losi 8t was a good basher,i would get the idea of converting a buggy to truggy out of your head it will cause more problems than its worth. losi 8t/crt/hyper st/standard mugen are all strong and now affordable truggies.

Check CL thats where I got mine. He was selling it $150 but instead he trading me for my xxx-s+g roller. There are good deals you just have to be patient
